October Release The One( Cont.)
Excerpt:
For years, Addie had tolerated her mother Clara’ s matchmaking. Momma only wanted the best for her. In a family filled with happily-ever-afters, the best included a husband.
Every Thanksgiving, the entire family gathered to share their tales of romantic bliss. Addie was happy for them knowing her time would come just like it had for everyone else in the family. It had come all right, and she was still working through the pain. … Momma turned on the television. The opening strains of“ Loving You” by Minnie Ripperton, played. With any luck it was just a commercial. A giant red heart filled the screen. Written across the heart in flowing script: The Love Doctor, Momma’ s favorite show.“ Almost forgot about the marathon,” Momma said. The opening credits dissolved. Dressed in a pale blue evening gown, a wannabe-actress or trying-to-be-model stood on a beach. In front of her knelt a tuxedoed man holding a single red rose, his declaration to the world that she was the one.
How could people watch this show? They did the same thing every episode. As the music swelled, her trembling hands would take his offered rose and press it to her bosom. She’ d fan her face to keep from crying. Overhead, doves would take flight, his signal to sweep her into his arms and seal their love with a kiss.
Except that wasn’ t what happened.
